We don’t need StatiSense to tell us that the South West, especially Lagos State would top the list for election violence in 2023.

We lived it. We witnessed the impunity, thuggery, agberoism, voter intimidation, and outright suppression that defined the Lagos elections, all in a desperate bid to grab it, snatch it, and run away with it.

We saw political oro masquerades deployed to scare voters. We witnessed wanton killings, maiming, and destruction of property targeting people believed to belong to a particular ethnic group, all because of their democratic choice.

And as if the violence on the streets wasn’t enough, ethnic bile was openly fueled by characters like Bayo Onanuga and MC Oluomo, further poisoning the atmosphere and stoking ethnic tension.

SlavaUkraini:
Why would there be violence in the South West especially in Lagos ?

when a known thug and tout openly came on Social media to warn anyone that will not vote for the APC to stay at home...

And the DSS could not do anything to him. But today they are after Sowore for calling someone a Criminal..

Reno Omokri called the same person a Notorious Drug Baron and they awarded him with an Ambassadorial Nomination..

This double standards stinks to high heavens.

You can lie as much as you like to yourself but Lagos still remain the most peaceful and organized state in Nigeria.

Many of you will sell your house to ensure your children are posted to Lagos for their NYSC because 2 things are guaranteed. Your child will not be killed and there's high probability of securing a better future These are facts that lies can't take away

ElevationD:
Such comments are expected here, where you have several unlearned youths adding uneducated voices. If you read clearly, you would have noticed the SE recorded as the third and not “top the region mostly rigged”, according to you and your very poor knowledge of English.

You must fix your understanding of English.

Commonsense dictates that violence during elections must not in any form be accepted.

Next is the proven fact that statisense never makes sense with their warped and unproven statistical records. They have never recorded correct statistics about events in the SE. Without doubt, they are sponsored by APC to discredit the SE always.

Commonsense should tell you that if APC won elections in the NW that was recorded to experience the most of violence, then APC benefitted from it completely. It means that APC was neck deep in election violence in the north.

Those of you who deceive and delude yourselves with the victory of the LP in the SE, pretend as usual that Lagos was free of violence. You must be reminded of the threats and physical attacks by MC Oluomo and his gangs on innocent voters in Lagos, against Nigerians of the SE. That included those of the SS.

Elections did not take place in the SE because APC was roundly defeated there, but elections too place in areas where LP did not have any presence. Elections too place in areas where APC recorded large votes, right? Elections took place in Rivers state right where BAT won right? It’s so sad to have your likes commenting here.

If South East can top the region mostly rigged and still coming 3rd with election violence, then we can reach the conclusion that election didn't take place in South East in 2023

MrGerald:
Lagos more peaceful and organized? Maybe these have another meaning, you probably never been to Abuja or Enugu, but if you say opportunity that's understandable.

ogascomax:
This was Governorship election not presidential. Because some of you are beginning to speak based on presidential election.

Ttalk:
Ogbeni, I work in Abuja, so make your point. Do you know the kind of protest that happened in Abuja during endsars. The terrorism, bombing and the community raid by kidnappers?

Many of you are simply ignorance

SonOfDSoil01:
story for the gods……I’m not interested in your stale rhetoric, you can tell that to the marines

MrGerald:
The thugs in Lagos alone pass all these, it's on daily basis, your windscreen would be smashed and your items collected if you're driving in some dark areas in Lagos.

chatinent:
The north east stats was a lie tho.

It wasn't the safest.

The people were giving no choice in totality.

Lie is part and parcel of many of you. The picture you post is from Kogi state in North Central. Why attaching it to make it look like it happened in Lagos.

The more you try to demarket Lagos the more your state go down, just know this

Ttalk:
Those than cant manage their emotions should not be allowed to vote in Nigeria.
Satisense has once again show regions that can't tolerate individual choice of candidate.

The mentality of you must vote my candidate is major reason for electoral tension, it's barbaric and should be discouraged

helinues:
Story, excuse upon excuse. Should such be happening in the righteous land?

ogascomax:
It's because you guys just always want to twist narratives. Let's see for the presidential report if South West won't top the list.

Ofunaofu:
What’s actually a lie is pretending Lagos 2023 was peaceful just because the truth is inconvenient.

First, a simple Google search would have shown you that the picture is from Ogun State, not Kogi. So miss me with the manufactured outrage and lazy gaslighting.

Second, Lagos doesn’t need demarketing.

Those who demarket Lagos are the same people who turned elections into warfare, the thuggery, agberoism, voter intimidation, ethnic profiling, and state-backed impunity we all witnessed live and direct. No Photoshop. No propaganda. We were there, we all saw it.

When political actors unleash street urchins, thugs, agberos, deploy oro masquerades to scare voters, openly threaten people believed to be a particular ethnic group, and celebrate violence, they do more damage to Lagos’ image than any tweet or Nairaland post ever could.

The problem isn’t people speaking up.
The problem is those who perpetrated electoral banditry, thuggery, agberoism and deploy the most ethnic and tribal bîgótry divisive campaign ever in the history of this country

RandomFellow:
Too many useless statistics. Wrong methodologies filled measurement error, sampling bias, cherry-picking of data, tiny sample size, confusing correlations with causation, etc. Then again, even worse analysis or should I call it outright manipulation? Jeez!!!

I just remembered confounding bias. Election violence reported... Could it be in areas where INEC had stolen the will of the people?

donleo92:
What I keep telling my friends is that yahoo actually saved the southern parts of the country.

If not this kidnapping and election violence would have been the worst down here.

My thought sha

jyz200:
True , but the funniest things they are the ones crying loud ,screaming election malpractice, voters intimidation blah blah blah , forming victim not knowing they are the real perpetrators

SonOfDSoil01:
so Lagos is the only state in Sw out of 6states? You left the voter intimidation and rigging that took place in your neck of woods and you all focus of Lagos to divert attention from the atrocities that took place in sad yeast even though we all knew the stats is not far from the truth but in Una usual cover of defence, you always claim to be the victim

sammiewrite:
Would it not be better if it was only voters intimidation and rigging that happened in South East? They also recorded the highest number of political killings: Oyibo Chukwu,
Chukwunonye Irouno, Christopher Elehu, the PDP candidate for Ideato North and South federal constituency in Imo State, just to mention a few.

Just tired of reading their never-ending dishonesty and deciets. Once I see a post intentionally turning logic on its head, arguing against facts and figures, or telling boldface lies, I immediately know it is them and just waka pass. Please be like me.

success1smyn:
I believe you can read very well, go back and read. All those you said up there made no sense.

They said reported case of election violence and you are here typing INEC bla bla bla.

DeOTR:
Can you listen to yourself? Engaging in fraud saved the south? You believe a fraudster would not engage in kidnapping if the condition is right?
How low can we sink? And this is the type of people who insults the politicians, even when they know they don't have the moral courage to do better if given the same opportunity.
